The 13-room, luxury boutique B&B Honor Mansion in Healdsburg may look like little more than a charming Victorian house from the street, but it actually sits on four acres of beautifully landscaped grounds that include tennis courts, a lap pool, a PGA putting green, and so much more. In addition to its luxury resort amenities, the intimate inn is filled with thoughtful extras, such as afternoon wine tastings, coffee at your door each morning, and snacks available all day long. Guestrooms are romantic and cozy, with fireplaces, memory foam mattress toppers, and ornate, tiled bathrooms. And, to top it all off, the hotel is within walking distance of downtown Healdsburg's shops and restaurants, and Napa and Sonoma's wineries -- many of which Honor Mansion's owners have relationships with -- are within easy driving distance.

Housed in a Spanish mission-style building, this upscale 228-room hotel attracts well-heeled guests with a top-notch spa complete with its own thermal mineral spring, a Michelin-starred restaurant, and an 18-hole championship golf course. Most rooms were completely renovated in April 2010, but the standard ones probably could still use some updates, and they’re on the small side for the price.

This quaint, small B&B in the heart of downtown Sonoma is made up of six homey and attractive bungalows. Each bungalow is different -- some have wood-burning fireplaces, others have Jacuzzi tubs, separate living areas, or full kitchens -- so guests should specify exactly what they want when booking. The property is lacking certain amenities, such as a pool and a gym (although guests receive free passes to a nearby health club that has both). But the location is prime: Just around the corner is Sonoma Plaza, full of shops and restaurants, and the bungalows are right on the Sonoma Bike Path, leading to more than 40 area wineries.

The 49-room Timber Cove Inn is a rustic seaside hideaway set on cliffs overlooking the rugged Northern California coast and the Pacific Ocean. The Inn has a wilderness-lodge feel, with an abundance of exposed timber, grand Sequoia trees, wild grasses, hiking trails, and a large fire pit where guests can roast s'mores and listen to the waves below. An acclaimed farm-to-table restaurant, Alexander's, makes it popular with food-lovers, too. Rooms are currently undergoing renovations, so some are newer, while others feel more retro, but all are cozy and have some luxury amenities. There is no cellphone service, making the Timber Cove Inn an ideal place to unplug, and a handful of state parks, filled with hiking and biking trails, are within driving distance.

Sonoma's intimate Cottage Inn & Spa has only nine rooms, giving it the feel of an intimate bed and breakfast. Only the Fountain View Cottage has TV, which may be a deal-breaker for some, but all rooms and suites have free Wi-Fi, and some have extra features such as kitchens and hot tubs. A free breakfast is delivered to rooms every morning, but there's no on-site restaurant. That said, the inn's a block from Sonoma's town square, meaning there's plenty of places to eat nearby. The spa offers deep tissue and Swedish aromatherapy massages.

The 83-room, upscale Bodega Bay Lodge is located on seven gorgeous ocean view acres, one hour north of the Golden Gate Bridge. The property is an integral part of the Sonoma landscape, with lush lawns, rustic stone walls, and fire pits dotting the grounds. Wine tastings, good coffee, and hearty artisanal food add to the luxe vibe, and spacious guest rooms with hardwood floors, comfortable seating areas, and balconies with phenomenal views combine to make the Lodge a destination in itself.

This 36-room boutique hotel in the heart of Healdsburg is a good pick for eco-conscious folks looking for something convenient to wineries with a modern, hip, relaxed vibe. The rooms are all done in a minimalist style, using sustainable materials, and are equipped with all the high-tech amenities you could want: flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, DVD players, and free Wi-Fi. Plus, they come with private balconies or patios. The H2 offers some pretty interesting perks -- from "water stations" on each floor offering flat or sparkling water, to free loaner bikes, to free weekend yoga classes in the Green Room. Another big highlight is Spoonbar, an on-site restaurant serving modern Mediterranean fare made with fresh, local ingredients and seasonal cocktails (indoor and outdoor seating available). There's also a nice solar-heated outdoor pool surrounded by greenery.

Kenwood Inn and Spa is located in Sonoma County, but the hotel and grounds evoke beautiful Tuscany. The European-style property impresses with its lush gardens and courtyards, and exquisite fountains and pools. The 29 private and spacious rooms are individually decorated with romantic Mediterranean-inspired decor, and are furnished with cozy fireplaces, quality Italian linens, oversize showers, and personal balconies (some with stunning vineyard views). Extensive freebies (such as in-room drinks and gourmet snacks), plush robes, and an ultra-luxurious spa help ensure that guests feel pampered. The hotel’s free breakfast has an array of fresh juices, homemade granola and pastries, and special cooked-to-order dishes, while its restaurant serves local cuisine using ingredients from local ranchers, cheese makers, and farmers. All in all, it's one of the best romantic boutique picks in Sonoma Wine Country -- though it's also worth considering Bungalows 313, located in the downtown Sonoma.

This upscale property feels like a European mansion, and exudes elegance on every level, from the rooms' high ceilings with exposed wooden beams, to the dark cherry wood furniture. With 16 rooms, it's small enough that guests receive the special attention (such as a fresh breakfast delivered to your door each morning) without being overwhelmed by staff. The rooms are equipped with fireplaces and free Wi-Fi, and feature European-style design that includes draped four-poster beds, Italian linens, and antique-style furniture; some bathrooms have big soaking tubs. For its high price, though, you'd expect to get a little bit more on the facilities side -- there's just a small pool and no gym, restaurant, or spa.
